This Week in Meteor #31

Updates in Meteor Core (MDG)

This is an awesome blog post that talks about the experience of someone moving from .NET based projects and writing newer ones in Meteor. There is a lot that goes into this post, so it’s not something I can summarize. I would highly recommend everyone reads it though.

Sacha wrote another great blog post about another pattern to setup components with templates and sharing logic between them with a template controller. It’s an interesting pattern and looks like it would work well for a lot of Meteor applications.

This is a great article that goes through and explains how to setup a package-based architecture for Meteor. It specifically talks about going from a regular Meteor app and converting it to be package-based.

Awesome article by Josh Owens talking about why Meteor should have a conference. I completely agree with all of the points he makes in the article and if Meteor were to have a conference, it would help the community grow a lot. I am happy about the Meteor Space Camp unconference that is being held in October.

This is a blog post that shows you how you can hijack Meteor accounts with simple XSS attacks. This is a MUST READ and developers should be aware of this and preventing any sort of XSS attacks on their Meteor application.

An awesome blog post by Spencer Carli about using React Native with Meteor and the challenges he faced while going through that development process. This shows that you can use React Native with Meteor now and build native applications using JavaScript.

This is an awesome and very well written open source Meteor application. They even built out a bunch of different ways to deploy it to your own servers or even sandstorm.io. If you are looking for an open source Meteor application to work on the side, this would be a good choice.

That’s all for this week! Tune in next week for more updates in the Meteor universe.
